Hi folks- I'm in northern Westchester County, NY which is just north of NYC. I'm currently building a Mach 1 I've had for years but just dragged from garage to garage until about 2 years ago when I got serious with it.

I love all kinds of cars and never went in for the "Ford rules, Chevy drools" nonsense, but 1969-70 Mach 1's/Bosses are my favorite musclecars. My number 2 car is probably a slammed 69 Camaro, very much along the lines of my friend VanZuuk1 who turned me on to this board. I think all the cars of this era have some redeeming quality of one kind or another, but they all need some serious updating. I don't go in for numbers-matching purposeful orange-peel stuff at all for this reason. Time marches on and it shouldn't be ignored.

Anyway, I'll try to post a picture of my shell in it's current state. I've had it long enough that most of the "before" shots are not digital... in fact, they were "before" the internet. :)

Welcome, I'll be following your progress. My buddy has a 68 Mustang coupe that I've been trying to convince him to get rid of the 6 cylinder and go the pro-touring route. I need pics and build info to convince him to make the change. Rod

Welcome to the site. Good to see another Westchester resident. I am in White Plains and Anthony's Blue camaro is beautiful. I have a pro-trans am 65 Mustang fastback, 1970 Boss 302 and 68 Shelby Convertible for my Fords. Go to many events locally, you should try Bear Mountain on Wednesday nites 700-1000 cars on perfect nights.
Trying to sort out my PT 65 GTO suspension.
